WHAT do U AMERICANS THINK ABOUT CANADA?

I live in Canada and every american cartoon I watch, they ether insult canada in it or say bad things about us. We don't hate you americans but all this bad media against us, we start to think of you guys of jerks. ( no offence )I mean in Canada, almost every where where there is a canadian flag, there is an american flag but when I went on a trip to Florida, ( very beautifull ) I couldn't even find one single flag in Disney World, so now I want your words pleese.

That's media for you. 85% of American T.V. is absolute rubbish.
I personally don't really care about nations.
I care about individuals.
If you're a good person, I don't really care where you're from.
Treat me with the same courtesy as I treat you, and we're all good.

because we unfortunately have as many idiots among us as anyone else. those who rant most about brainwashed unthinking crazy fanatics abroad are usually brainwashed unthinking crazy fanatics themselves, and if your country doesn't sieg heil the current administration and whatever its oil-driven invasion du jour is, well, you must be tools of the antichrist. surely you have a few people like that yourself. plus the fact that people are lemmings, and if you exploit a 9-11 kind of event to frighten them into blind obedience and violations of the constitution, a fair number of morons will go along.

partly the disinterest in world affairs is that being geographically large you're not forced to learn to live with foreign-language-speaking neighbors as much as europe or asia are, and there's also the fact that power corrupts and superpower super-corrupts. personally i try to go against both those grains, and fortunately we still have a healthy contingent of people like me who think canada, especially if you bother visiting, is a pretty cool place.

i was overseas and exposed to criticism too, though it was usually very polite. unfortunately it was also about 95% accurate and not even the full story. the way i see it is, any country too immature to learn from criticism instead of being offended by it deserves even more, and the one mature enough to listen to it and learn, has nothing to worry about from it.
